We're not even taking that basic precaution.

Though Filthy Donnie has lied and said we are testing at the airports.

Sneezing is, apparently, not a symptom. But coughing is. And though, yes, coughing might be from something else, at this time that passenger's convenience is not really worth another passenger's life. If he was coughing he shouldn't have been allowed on the plane.

Supposedly he wasn't coughing. LisaL Mar 2020 #19

No one even asked him, though. No one took a temperature reading. No one asked Squinch Mar 2020 #21

My guess is he was told not to fly while awaiting test results. LisaL Mar 2020 #22
